#YOURRIVERISWAITING
No longer do you have to rent, transport, and launch your vessel to enjoy Calgary’s Bow or Edmonton's North Saskatchewan river. Simply book your ride online and arrive on location.

Let the Paddle Station do the rest – we provide all the equipment ready at the side of the river, including required safety gear (pfd/life jacket, paddles and safety kit); we even give you a safety talk - all for free with your booking AND we take it all from you at the end of your float.

That's right, besides the raft, we don't charge you for all the other items like others do.

No Pick Up, No Vessel Transport, No Hassle.

Your 2-3 hr self-guided, or guided trip floats 12km through the heart of downtown.

In Calgary start at Shouldice Park and end at St Patrick's Island and in Edmonton, start at the Emily Murphy Park canoe launch and float to the Capilano Boat Launch!

All you have to do is book your vessel, show up, and leave the rest to us.

We provide all the equipment you need at the start location and take it from you at the end location. You just have to hand it over and walk away!! Simple!

  • How it works
    1. Book your vessel online
    2. Come to the starting paddle station at the water’s edge where your gear is all waiting for you
    3. Paddle down the River
    4. Leave the kayak or raft with our Crew at the end
    5. Walk away - no fuss no hassle!
